Investing in Rental Properties Near Game Day Hotspots
As Florida’s sports scene heats up, savvy investors are looking beyond the beaches — and into the bleachers. Properties near major stadiums and game day destinations are proving to be high-return rental investments in 2025. Why? Fans, families, and event-goers drive consistent short-term demand and high occupancy rates.
📍 Why Game Day Locations Are Smart Investments
Florida is home to legendary teams and vibrant college campuses, including:
-
NFL teams like the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Jacksonville Jaguars
-
College football powerhouses like Florida State University (FSU), University of Florida (UF), and University of Miami (UM)
-
MLS and NBA arenas with loyal fan bases
Properties within a 1–2 mile radius of stadiums attract Airbnb guests, visiting families, alumni, and seasonal renters.
Bonus: Many are walkable, with easy access to bars, tailgates, and live entertainment.
